Former Manchester City star Yaya Toure has revealed he found it hard to play against Manchester United's Nemanja Matic in the Premier League.

'Nemanja Matic was complicated,' Toure told The Times.
'He's not quick but he's so strong, clever. All the rest of the opponents, because I always looked at them carefully before games, I get their weakness.'
Matic has been linked to a move away from Old Trafford after making just five appearances for United this season.
